i wouldnt go for the mbp especially when the "new" one comes out around june and the "old" thicker design is completely obsolete. id be so pissed walking around with a dated design but thats just my shallow me
the limit on the 13inch is 8GB anyway so theres no point in upgrading and u can upgrade the SSD if u want to. who seriously replaces a battery? by the time it turns to crap u most likely buy a new machine anyway
I agree, if you got a regular mbp right now then in june it is most likely going to be out dated design as well as internals, if you get a rmpb now, your most likely looking at missing out on the new haswell cpus and maybe a better gpu, but I really don't see them upgrading the design in June on the rmpb but thats just me.
